Beacon Receivers
EVO-RBR-3040A1S
The EVO-RBR-3040A1S beacon receiver based on Avcom’s software-defined-radio technology platform designed to exceed today’s performance challenges. The receiver is intended for antenna systems applications required to operate under challenging conditions. Avcom’s newest beacon receiver technology provides excellent performance by employing high-performance DSP, and FPGAs. Integrators can now install a full-function beacon receiver into systems operating in austere and rugged environments as well as standard teleport and earth station
indoor environments. Communication with the receiver is achieved via ethernet and Avcom’s Graphical User Interface, the EVO GUI software. It provides a feature-rich set of functions to lock on and provide a DC output voltage proportionate to the received satellite beacon signal. The system can also be accessed via a customer implemented POSIX-Compliant API. Source code is available from Avcom.SKU: EVO-RBR-3040A1S
